The parts 6 and 7 0f nah li-zfiecmr F are hinged wgether at: 8, mm U 16 hinge-pins gireferailjly form the axles fax the ie sls 9, and it is advantageoas to provide i minwlinim ll, that comment the shafts 01" 5.111% mike miles 8, so that twqcompiete endless fillilliifi are prsvicled for the deflectors, and #:he defiecmm are hinged together in their middle pmtion. at E and the outer ends a? the dGfiCtmy, 11in ed. together by the axles l 3 marien n by this construction that 2% contiguous 0r abutone against intervme between the lower and of the :Zpmzi 0r chute E and the top 05 the bucket A and dimei the material running from such spam: inlo we bucket, and theshape of each deflects? as a whole is to be such than: it will. n08 contain more than thebueket wili hold, so that. as the deflector is raised and. the contents thereof run into the bucket such bucket will not averfiow; but as the chain of iefleetors tmvels arcund the curved track G film links uf the chain assume angular posi- 510mm each other and the adjacent qdges of tha deflarstors separate or diverge, as that the emileas, chain of deflectors can was around chain at spmcket wheels, which am the equivalents @f a, curved track, and the parts will uceupy but a small space and are compm'w tivewly light.

10 mt limit myself to any particular shape of the deflectors F, as the same may vary awarding to the size or shape of the bucka and the material operated upon.

I claim {LS my invention- 1. The combination, with a conveying ap paratus and a supply shuts or spout, of as. range of deflectors hinged together and. each deflector made of two parts hinged together Electors to travel upml, anfi wash? and 9 are upam a atz'silgllix i-hcl ether so as to form a compleie glefiector" a comparatively small track 01 six-Gum two at or near the middle, substantially as set forth.

hinges for uniting the two parts of the Ge Hector together, and the supporting-wheels Y applied to the respective axles oripins, sub- :a stain tially a's-set forth.

'3. The combination, with the conveyerbuckets, their connecting-chains, wheeleand track, of a, supply spout or chute, aseries of two-part deflectors, chain-1inks,and pins or axles for connecting the links, each deflector i 5 being separated atoi'near the centei'joints of the chains, and wheels and tracks for supporting the deflectors as they are moved around with the conveyers, substantially as set forth.
